"Lana! Chloe! Lana! Chloe!"
Lana and Chloe ran to the window where Clark was maniacally running up to their door. He had an ear to ear smile on his face. Lana and Chloe ran down the stairs, eager to see what Clark was so happy about. They opened it.
"Clark what the..?"
"The baby is still alive" he interrupted Chloe
"What?" asked Lana, confused
"I know it sounds crazy but the baby is still alive"
"How?" Chloe asked
Clark walked in the door, as if he was a child on caffeine he began telling the story.
"Okay, so you know how mom lost the baby in the truck accident right?"
"Yeah" Chloe and Lana said in unison
"Well, the hospital told her that she lost the baby. Well this morning she started throwing up and getting weird cravings again. Then she started saying that she felt like something was still kicking inside of her. We didn't know what it was so she went to the store and got a pregnancy test.. And it turned blue!"
Chloe was beyond confused. How could a baby seem dead and then magically come back to life like that?
"But. wait.." Lana said "When she miscarried didn't they take the baby out of her?"
Clark nodded "Yeah.. but as crazy as it sounds.. I think it, um, grew back"
Chloe shook her head, confused "How could it have grown back?"
"I don't know.. Maybe it was the meteor rocks"
Clark nodded at Lana, she nodded back. She knew that what Clark had really meant was the ship.
"It doesn't make sense," Chloe said
Clark shrugged "Who cares? This is the weirdest town in America! All we know is that mom has the baby back. She went to a doctor in Metropolis this morning and they did another sonogram"
Lana's eyes lit up "Is it a boy or girl?"
"They didn't want to know. They just wanted to know if it was healthy.. and it was"
Chloe did still not understand how this could have happened. It was so weird! She shrugged; this was America's weirdest town so she decided she'd keep an open mind. Clark was practically spewing happiness. She hadn't seen him that happy in a long time. That was all that mattered right now.
"Well, congrats Clark, you're going to be a big brother again!" Chloe said supportively
Clark smiled and hugged Chloe, lifting her off the ground; she was a little suprised at his action but glad that they were friends again. He put Chloe down and hugged Lana. She giggled and they kissed.
"Do you guys want to see her? She just got home" Clark asked them, his arms still around Lana
"Yeah" Chloe and Lana said together
They took Chloe's car over to Clark's house and all walked in as fast as they could. Martha was sitting on a chair, her belly swelled like a person who was 6 months pregnant. Jonathan was sitting next to her, staring into her eyes and holding her hand. They were interrupted by the kids.
"Woah" Clark said, shocked at how big Martha's belly had gotten "How did that happen?"
Martha shrugged "I don't know, It swelled up all of the sudden when we were on our way to the hospital"
Chloe hid her shock "This is so amazing" she said smiling
"I know, right? Don't worry, we're not even going to question on how this all happened" Lana assured Martha
Martha smiled "Thanks, because I have no idea how this could have happened. But however, It's a blessing"
They all smiled. Martha put her hand on her stomach suddenly and laughed.
"Is it kicking?" Chloe asked
"Yeah" she smiled "You wanna feel?"
"Yeah"
Chloe went over and put her hand on Martha's bulging belly. The baby kicked her hand almost immeaditialy.
"Woah!" Chloe exclaimed, laughing herself now "That little guy is strong. Or little girl"
"Yeah, it's been kicking a lot sense we got home. The doctor says it's going to be an active baby," Jonathan said, beaming
"Well, listen I have to go. But if you need anything me and my father can help you out with anything"
"Thank you, Chloe" Martha said, smiling
Chloe waved goodbye and left. They all stood there for a moment.
"Okay, now that she is gone" Martha said, "I have to tell you all this"
"What?" Clark asked
"It's about the baby. You know how the ship healed me and made it able for me to get pregnant?"
Everyone nodded except for Lana.
"I'll tell you later" Clark whispered to Lana
"Well" Martha said, "The ship had the same effect on the baby. When I miscarried and they removed the baby.. As crazy as it sound they didn't actually remove the baby, just the form of the baby"
They all stared on, confused. Martha continued.
"It is confusing, I know. But the baby, the actual baby was just hiding from everything that they were doing. Playing dead I guess. The things that the ship healed with kept the baby alive.... The baby didn't get hurt like a normal one would... It can't get hurt.."
"So.. The baby is.." Clark guessed
Martha nodded "Yes! It had something to do with the ship and Kryton! The baby has everything that you do, Clark. How it can't get hurt or sick"
"What about the green krytonite?" Clark asked
Martha shrugged "I don't know.. But if it has your strength.. It must have your weakness"
"So" Clark smiled "You mean I'll have someone else in this world who is just like me?"
"Yes!" Martha said, smiling at her son
Lana put her arm around Clark's waist "Now, when he discovers that he has those powers he could take to you. You'll be the only one who knows what he is going through"
Clark smiled and put his arm around Lana, feeling totally happy that things were turning around.
"Can I feel it kicking?" Lana asked
"Sure" Martha smiled
Lana went over and felt it. It kicked at her hand.
"Wow, Clark you have to feel this! It definitely has your superstregth!"
Clark laughed and felt the baby kicking.
"Yeah it does," He said smiling
Jonathan got up "Does anyone want soda?" he asked
"Yeah" all three said together
"Okay" Jonathan left the room
"He's forgiving you, Clark" Martha told him
Clark smiled "I'm just so glad everything worked out"
Martha smiled "You know" she whispered humorously "The ships the real father of the baby"
All three of them laughed. Clark stared on at Lana, she was so beautiful, and so in love with him. He absolutely felt the same way about her. He stared at his mother, who looked about 5 years younger. She looked as if the weight of the world was suddenly taking of her shoulders. She was glowing and smiling for the first time sense Lex's wedding. Clark smiled thinking about how much fun Lex was probably having in the Caribbean; he had no idea what had happened to Lex. But they would both find out soon.
Lana and Chloe ran to the window where Clark was maniacally running up to their door. He had an ear to ear smile on his face. Lana and Chloe ran down the stairs, eager to see what Clark was so happy about. They opened it.
